We ticked off the last few archeological sites on our 7 banger ticket this morning (thanks mum ((: ). Hadrian's Library had lots of columns and some pretty cool mosaics. The Roman forum had lots of columns too but also a weather predicting tower with a frieze of the 8 wind gods around the top that now houses weird bird art.

In the evening we realised we had spent 0 euros today so we thought we should change that and try some cocktails on our way to dinner. We went to a couple of funky places and had some very funky drinks (see last picture)Weiterlesen

More Greek Stuff !!

We started the day by returning to our roots and doing a Rick Steve walking tour of Athens which took us to parliament where they reenact the Monty Python ministry of silly walks bit on the hour every hour. Then we headed to whats left of the Temple of Zeus which was the largest temple going round in Athens ("roughly the size of a football field" - Rick).

In the evening we went to the ancient agora, it served a similar purpose to the Forum in Rome but because it wasn't made by Romans it had a few less bells and whistles. They had reconstructed one of the market halls and filled it with things they had found which was pretty cool. They had an old ballot system and an entire cabinet filled with votes for the same 1 guy to be ostracised lol.

After that we thought it would be fun to cook dinner but the stove doesn't really do hot so it took 2 hours which was not fun. But we are in the end 😅😰Weiterlesen
